Perl script to add indentation (leading horizontal space) to LaTeX files. It can modify line breaks before, during and after code blocks; it can perform text wrapping and paragraph line break removal. It can also perform string-based and regex-based substitutions/replacements. The script is customisable through its YAML interface. (by cmhughes)

Seems to be an issue on the extension side (follow link). So, did you create an issue on extension dev site (https://github.com/James-Yu/LaTeX-Workshop)?

I can get the LaTeX Workshop sample script to work. But applying that to other projects falls apart because of the packages, I think (because the logs tell me so).

You need to open vscode settings file (CTRL-SHIFT-P ) followed by Open User Settings (JSON), Then you can paste the code that you can find here under the section Misc. This way you can use the texify build recipe that works in Miktex out-of-the-box.
[LaTeX Workshop] Go to section preview in pdf document from latex code
1 project | /r/vscode | 23 Jul 2022

Hi I am using the extension 'james-yu.latex-workshop' and I wonder if there is a way to go to the preview in the pdf document from the editor for the section that you are currently editing or about to edit. I took a look at the available commands/shortcuts and I cannot find it. The other way around works as expected, I will will 'Ctrl + Left click' in the pdf document and it will take to the latex code for that particular section. I have created already a feature request but if anyone here knows how to do it it would be much appreciated!

Professional programmers don't hand-format code; they write code to format it for them. In LaTeX's case, latexindent.pl (comes with TeX Live and MiKTeX) is what you want.

Other than that: It's kinda funny to still see alternative (La)TeX parsers implemented and maintained in Perl. :-) And, OMG, what gems.
